Equestrian EXPO

COONABARABRAN - FRIDAY, 2ND JUNE TO TUESDAY 6TH JUNE 2023

All roads lead to Expo Coonabarabran’s population will swell this week, as riders from over 100 schools across the state decend on the town for five days of horsemanship and show at the annual North West Equestrian Expo.

by GEORGIA SPENCE Horses in tow, students arriving for 2023 North West Equestrian Expo will camp out to participate in Australia’s oldest and largest event of its kind.

Now in its 31st year, Expo will become home to more than 500 students and over 700 horses, with official competition kicking off tomorrow on Friday, 2 June.

T h e 2 0 23 eve nt w i l l incorporate disciplines such as Polocrosse, Team Penning, Dressage, Working Horse Challenge and more.

The program caters for riders of all abilities, with some top riders going on to represent Australia.

The overall focus of this Expo is one of sportsmanship, horsemanship and passion, while representing their school.

Three of the biggest schools participating include New England Girls School (NEGS), Scots All Saints College and Yanco Agricultural High School.

These schools return a n n u a l l y, a s s t u d e n t s prepare throughout the year by sticking to a training plan to perfect their workouts and tests.

Students must ensure the horses are fit and healthy

to compete in a five-day contest of disciplines.

A competition like no other, the Expo allows s t u d e nt s t o wo r k a n d support each other as a team.

Lyn O’Neil, director of marketing and enrolments at NEGS, is proud of the teamwork the students display and recalled the excitement of the first win they had at A-Grade Polocrosse.

“Everyone was screaming on the sideline. It was a dark night, lit up only by the hired spotlights,” Mrs O’Neil said.

“You could see the steam rising off the horses. The match was intense. It was fabulous.”

Expo is not only about competition and streamlined organisation, it is a chance for students to progress socially and meet members new and old in the equestrian field.

It allows for supportive interactions to take place between schools as students are able to make new friends and reconnect with old.

NEGS, Scots and Yanco all have a large equine emphasis and extensive training programs, leading to success across the board.

NEGS has won many

major trophies including the Poole Family Perpetual Shield for the school with the highest point score.

With the majority of their students attending for the first time, Yanco is looking forward to the Polocrosse after participating in new training sessions throughout the year.

Director of agriculture a n d e q u e s t r i a n , L i b by Dawes, from Scots All Saints College, has guided students to win the highest achievements in the One Day Event Phase, and many more.

“Our equestrian program h a s a wo n d e r fu l te a m environment and we have students of all abilities who participate in a variety of disciplines,” Mrs Dawes said. “ We l o v e h o w o u r students support each other in their equestrian pursuits.”

But long after the ribbons are set and trophies won, students take home great memories and celebrate their success with their teams.

T h e N o r t h We s t Equestrian Expo commences on Friday, 2 June and concludes with the grand parade o n Tu e s d a y, 6 J u n e .

Spectators are welcome.

COONABARABRAN - FRIDAY, 2ND JUNE TO TUESDAY 6TH JUNE 2023

Message from the president

Kevin Sharp President North West Equestrian Expo Committee

The Expo committee and head stewards welcome all 500 riders re p re s e nti n g ove r 1 0 0 schools to the 2023 event.

We are looking forward to five days of competition in 13 disciplines at the Coonabarabran Showground and Racecourse.

There have been significant improvements to the sur face of the showjumping arena and the cross country warmup area. We would like to recognise the support of the Showground Trust and Warrumbungle Eventing Club in contributing to these improvements.

Eve n te r s w i l l n ot i c e a new brush fence and additional work on the creek crossings and track – this is part of ongoing work and support from all user groups.

Those stabled at the showground will a p p re c i ate th e b e lti n g

i n th e st a b l e s a n d th e fresh coat of paint to the old stallion block . This work has been made pos sible by volunteers and participants in the Job Start program.

The old sand dressage arena at the showground is undergoing a much needed upgrade that should be completed by Expo 2024.

This year we have purchased sawdust for riders to use in their s t a b l e s . T h e a i m i s to reduce the costs incurred by riders in purchasing shavings and the large amount of plastic waste generated by the bags.

Generous support f ro m N SW P o l o c ro s s e Association has enabled us to hire another four lights for the main arena.

This will allow both fields to run until the completion of the competition each night, adding to the excitement of this fast and furious game.

We have made some time-tabling changes that were forced upon us last year due to the rain, and proved to be popular with head stewards and competitors.

The running phase of the Pentathlon will be around the Coonabarabran Rac e c o u rs e. This t wo kilometre race is easily viewed from the grandstand. The inside of the racecourse was popular with those riders choosing hacking on the Tuesday. A quieter area with more space had a lot of appeal for judges and competitors.

This year, the finals of the Team of Four riders on the flat, competing for the Gower Family Trophy, will

be held in the main arena as riders prepare for the Grand Parade. This should provide a point of interest as schools gather for the final parade.

The final parade marks the completion of five days of intense competition.

Outside of Sydney Royal and the Coronation, there are not many places that you would witness such a large number of beautifully-presented riders, marching behind their school banners.

This year we have two n e w s p o n s o r s fo r t h e smartest school on parade: The Coonabarabran Bakery Trophy, for the best presented large school, and The Forsyths Cup, for the best presented small s c h o o l . B oth s p o n s o r s have been wonder ful s u p p o r te r s of E x p o i n many ways over the years a n d we we l c o m e th e i r support in recognising the schools.

I would like to thank our community for the support given to Expo; f ro m R ot a r y, b ot h t h e Primary and High Schools, our many sponsors, the Pony Club, Warrumbungle Eventing, the local VRA, the Showground Trust, Warrumbungle Shire Council, our head stewards and committee, and the many volunteers not necessarily represented by the aforementioned organisations, who generously give of their time and expertise.

We are a small Shire who punch way above our weight in hosting the largest high school, inter-school equestrian competition in Australia – and maybe the world!

Marvellous mares make history Some horses are more like family members. Rebecca Moxham and Hannah Evans share the stories of Monica and Duchess - two mares that are part of the fabric that make up North West Equestrian Expo's history.

‘Monica’ Kalinga Challenge, a mare fondly known as Monica, was a 16.2hh stockhorse bred for polo and, while she did play for a while, she was too big for the top level of polo competition.

She was then evented up to 3* with Gordon Bishop, before we purchased her.

Monica was the ultimate Expo horse, competing over three years from 2004 to 2006. During this time, she won the 1* eventing, overall Working Horse Challenge, Reserve Champion Hack, Champion Sporter and Showjumper, culminating in winning the overall highest point score in 2006.

After she retired, we sent her to the riding pony stallion, Furzy Kit Kat, at Fairleigh Stud in Armidale.

Monica was 18 when she had her only foal, the beautiful Duchess, who was broken in by another Expo competitor, Jess Cormie.

Duchess evented successfully with Emma Bishop,

whose husband, Gordon, previously evented Monica.

Duchess then became the much-loved mount of Harriet King, followed by Hannah Evans.

Rebecca Moxham ‘Duchess’ Last year was my first Expo on Duchess and her fourth year at the event. We competed in the 80cm eventing and the 95cm showjumping.

In the showjumping we placed fifth and in the eventing we got to jump a cross-country jump that has my name engraved on it, because I won it for the club. This was very cool!

At the Australian Jumping Championships in Melbourne in November last year, we placed ninth in the Pearl tour and I was the highest-placed NSW rider in our category.

Recently, we placed first in the 95cm and fourth in the 105cm at Wellington Show.

Equestrian EXPO

COONABARABRAN - FRIDAY, 2ND JUNE TO TUESDAY 6TH JUNE 2023

From student to teacher: Farrer’s full circle at Expo Coonabarabran's North West Equestrian Expo is more than a one-off event for many competitors, in fact, it has created quite a legacy for some riders and their families who return year after year.

by JAYNE MURPHY In 2009, Year 7 student Gareth Garnsey competed in the North West Equestrian Expo representing Farrer Memorial Agricultural High School.

He rode two horses that year – his mum’s old grey mare ‘Yabby Creek’, and a mare that would go on to give him some of his greatest successes, ‘Moblar Mystique’.

Little did he know, that f i r s t E x p o ex p e r i e n c e would be the beginning of several high school years of competition and that he would return years later as the high school teacher in charge of Farrer’s equestrian team.

In 2023 Farrer will be represented at Expo by a team of 15 riders, the largest team ever entered by the school, and ably coached by teacher, Mr Garnsey.

Learning life skills It’s the experiences and friends made over the years that keep Mr Garnsey and his students returning to Expo.

A win now and then is admirable, but he said, “For me, I love still being a part of this [Expo] world; it is a way for me to give back to a community that provided so much opportunity and enjoyment for me growing up.

“For the boys, horse ownership and general

horsemanship is incredibly rewarding and educational.

“It teaches them how to handle the animal responsibly, patience, and they can see the success of what their relationship with their horse can achieve, which is so unique.”

P r i n c i p a l of Fa r re r Memorial Agricultural High School, Clint Gallagher affirmed not only the sports achievements, but the life skills students gained from participating in the event.

“North West Equestrian Expo is such a display of what students are capable of, whether they are playing polocrosse, showjumping, racing around the sporting field or working a cow at team penning, their talents are astonishing,” Mr Gallagher said.

“The skills in teamwork, responsibility and organisation that Farrer boys learn as being part of this are so important to their development.

“I wish our boys the best of luck and can’t wait to see what they achieve this year.”

The hours of work that go into preparing a horse and a rider for Expo are immeasurable and the team extends beyond students and teachers.

Mum’s the word M r G a r n s ey ’s m u m , Margaret, became Farrer’s team manager when he was a student and she still supports the team now he

is a teacher.

“Mum has been such a legend. When I started in Year 7 with two of my friends, she was our team manager, and, as the team got bigger and bigger, she was still in charge of the whole thing.

“She did it for years too, whilst my little brother continued. As an adult now, I can appreciate more and more the organisation of it all, and she still comes over to help now!”

Margaret Garnsey still loves being part of Farrer’s Expo team. Mr Garnsey s a i d , “ M u m’s b e e n i n the Farrer family for 19 consecutive years between all my brothers and I, and she spent a large chunk of that time being the team manager at Expo, so if there is anything I don’t know how to do, I know who to call. “ Yo u c o u l d n e a r l y b et s h e’s m a ki n g n ew browbands for the boys as we speak.”

Mrs Garnsey is full of praise for the Expo.

“Coona is like nothing else, it is such a wide range of disciplines,” she said.

“It is always so exciting to see the boys try something new and see how they go with it. They loved seeing their mates as well – and so did we!

“There were always likeminded people to make friends with over there, some people we met at Coona we

TAKE 10 WITH...

still see on occasion.

“Farrer always had such a lovely, easy bunch of boys, it made the organisation of it all worthwhile.”

Polocrosse stars While Mr Garnsey has participated in a variety of equestrian events over the years, he said that polocrosse has been a massive part of his life.

He plays for his hometown club, Quambone, and has proudly represented the

sport as a player and official at some high levels.

He said that Expo is a great way for teenagers to have a go at the sport.

Recently, Mr Garnsey was team manager for the Australian junior polocrosse team (U16) that played against South Africa in a three-match test series in Albury, where Australia won the nail-biting decider match.

He said, “The juniors are

such talented players and horsemen/women, and such a credit to the sport.

“I think I will be lucky enough to see some of them playing again at Expo – three of them, I believe, are at the same school.

“So, look out to whoever comes up against them in the polocrosse on Saturday night!”

But the big question is whether spectators will be watching the polocrosse

take place in the dust or the mud.

While farmers across the north west desperately await rain, seasoned Expo competitors assure them that the annual competition will once again be the rainmaker.

Mr Garnsey said he looks forward to being wet and cold once again for the duration of the incredible event.

1. Tell me a bit about yourself?

I’m in Year 12 at Coonabarabran High School. I love being outside and spending time with our horses and labrador, Albee. I’m very lucky because both sides of my family ride, so I have had lots of opportunity to learn about horses.

2. Why do you love riding horses?

I am constantly learning from them and making progress. When I ride, my mind is too focused on riding that I can’t worry about anything that is stressing me out, like school. It is very rewarding to look back, especially with young horses, and see how much progress they have made. I started riding the mare I’m taking to Expo when she had just had her first few rides out of the round yard after she was broken in. She has taught me heaps and I’m very excited that she is now up to the level where she can compete at Expo.

3. What’s your horse’s name?

Willagong Lucille. She’s named after the Kenny Rogers song.

4. What’s her favourite snack?

Apples from our tree.

5. What is your favourite Expo memory from riding at Expo?

The team barrel has an electric atmosphere and would be my favourite part of Expo. I love how everyone gets in and has a go, regardless of what disciplines they usually do. Everyone gets involved, from people with little hacking ponies to huge eventing warmbloods, and there’s so much cheering.

6. What has been your best result at Expo?

Last Expo, when my horse, Willagong Bart, and I accumulated enough points from different events to rank 9th out of the 500+ competitors and be one point away from placing reserve champion in my age group. I was very proud of Bart because he did a variety of events and tried his heart out.

7. How does it feel to be participating at Expo for the last time this year?

I am grateful that I have the opportunity to compete and do what I love, especially among the demands of preparing for the HSC trial exams, which are two weeks after Expo.

8. What is your favourite Expo event and why?

The One Day Event, which involves dressage, showjumping and cross-country, would have to be my favourite. I like a variety of disciplines, but eventing is the one I train for the most. Outside of Expo, I love competing with mum at One Day Events. I’m always on a bit of a high after the cross-country phase as it’s lots of fun for both me and the horse.

9. What are your future plans after high school?

I would love to get into a physiotherapy degree. I think I would enjoy being a physiotherapist because it is a social job where I can help people, and I have always been interested in the human body.

10. Do you think you will keep riding into the future?

Absolutely! I would love to eventually train young horses and compete them in eventing. I’m not really interested in competing at high levels – I still have lots of fun taking young horses up through the lower levels.

Three decades of steaks and snags The Rotary Club of Coonabarabran has been filling tummies and fueling riders at the North West Equestrian Expo since the event’s second year back in 1994.

by JIMMY WHALAN In a chat with local Rotarians John Sawyer and Robert Cox, we discussed how the event had changed over the years, transforming into what has become the largest high school equestrian event in Australia.

Since its inception, t h e fo n d l y refe r re d to "Horse Expo", has grown so much that the event has expanded to include both the Coonabarabran

Showground and Racecourse.

And as the Expo has grown, so too has Rotary’s catering efforts, with Mr Cox expecting around 800 people to feed at this year’s event.

As one of Rotary’s biggest fund-raising initiatives for the year, the Rotary team of volunteers are up at the crack of dawn until late at night, providing meals to riders from breakfast to dinner.

Mr Sawyer said in Expo's earlier years, Rotary ran its catering out of a modest stall, however, they now make good use of the Showground's large undercover bar pavilion.

Mr Cox estimated that last year Rotary sold over half a tonne of chips!

Among some of the most popular meals provided by Rotary at Expo include the bacon and egg breakfast, hamburger lunches, and a good variety of hearty

dinner options prepared over the week, including a beef and red wine dish, curried sausages and chicken and rice.

Mr Sawyer said that over the past five to 10 years Rotary has fed thousands of students, with the Rotary stand being well patronised by both locals and visitors.

But it wouldn’t be a true interview about Expo if we didn’t talk about the rain!

B ecause it would be foolish to ask how many

years it has rained at Expo, I asked Mr Cox how many times he thinks it hasn’t rained.

He replied that since he started at Expo in 2016, he thinks there was probably only one year that Expo had remained (relatively) rain free.

But what’s the predidcted forecast for this year’s Expo?

The opinion of most seems to be “definitely rain”.

Rotary Club of Coonabarabran members have been busy preparing their catering options for the 2023 North West Equestrian Expo.

Biology students study Castlereagh Gaining real world experience, Year 11 students are able to monitor the DNA of the Castlereagh River in order to regenerate river ecology.

The rise of AI? Lately, there has been a dramatic increase in public interest in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, especially concerning the program ‘ChatGPT,’ that automatically responds to prompts entered by a user. There are concerns that these technologies will impact us in many ways, especially in regards to the education system. So, how exactly do these AI systems work and are the concerns actually something to worry about? Who better to ask than ChatGPT itself?

by CHATGPT Prompt: Write an article explaining what ChatGPT is.

Response: ChatGPT is a language model created by OpenAI that uses a r tif icia l i ntel l igence to si mu l ate human-like conversations.

It has been trained on vast amounts of text data from the internet, allowing it to understand and respond to a wide range of topics and questions.

ChatGPT is designed to provide pe r sonal i sed and i nfo r mative r e s p o n s e s to u s e r s i n r e a l - t i m e, making it a powerful tool for a variety of applications such as customer service, education, and research.

With its ability to understand and generate natural language, ChatGPT has the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with technology and each other.

Prompt: What are the concerns relating to the ef fects of AI on education/schools?

Re s p o n s e: T h e i n c r e a s i n g u s e of A r tif icia l I ntel l igence (AI) i n education has raised concerns about its potential impacts on schools and students.

Some worry that AI could replace h u m a n te a ch e r s, l e a d i n g to j o b losses and a decline in the quality of education.

O t h e r s fe a r t h at A I a l g o r i t h m s could perpetuate existing biases and 4 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 1st June 2023

inequalities in education systems.

Additionally, there are concerns around data privacy and security, as AI systems may collect and store sensitive information about students.

A s A I tech n o l o g y co nt i n ues to evo l ve a nd be i nteg rated i nto education, it is important to carefully consider these potential risks and benefits and ensure that AI is used responsibly and ethically in schools.

Prompt: Is AI a potential threat to news journalism?

Response: AI has the potential to transform the field of news journalism, but it is not necessarily a threat.

On the one hand, AI-powered tools can help journalists sift through vast amounts of data and information, i d e nt i f y p a t te r n s , a n d g e n e ra te i n s i g ht s t h at m a y b e d i f f i cu l t o r impossible to uncover manually.

However, there are also concerns that AI-generated content may lack the nuance, context, and editorial judgment of human -w r itten news stories.

Additionally, there are concerns around the potential for AI-generated deepfakes or misinformation to be disseminated through news channels.

Overall, the impact of AI on news journalism will depend on how it is developed, deployed, and regulated in the future.

What a sight to see This year, Tim Duffy celebrates 40 years since the beginning of his thriving optometry career.

Mr Duffy graduated from the University of NSW in 1983 and commenced his career practicing as an opt ometr ist out of Coonabarabran.

In the early years of his optometry career, Mr Duffy would board with Dr Richard Lindsay and his wife, Maureen.

It was from here that his vision to expand services began, opening Vision Splendid Optometrist in Gunnedah in 1985.

T hen , i n 2 015 , M r Duffy purchased Richard Orr’s practice in Narrabri, a n o t h e r i nd e p e nd e nt optometrist.

F inally, in 2 022 he opened a practice in Moree in order to continue the legacy of both Ross Cooper and Bruce Turner.

Across these practices Mr Duffy’s team consists of five fellow optometrists – Lauren Finlay, Alison Stuart, Sebastian Egan, Debbie Baxter and Arveen Venzon.

Mr Duffy was the first optometrist in the north west to complete his Ocular Therapeutics, and he now co-manages and treats a vast array of eye diseases and injuries in conjunction with local and metropolitan ophthalmologists.

M r D u f f y a nd h is team continue to travel to Coonabarabran on a weekly basis, visiting each

Wednesday, and welcome new and existing patients.

Mrs Maureen Lindsay and local teacher, Jacqui Clifton were on hand to congratulate Mr Duffy on his successful 40 years in practice last week.

M rs Clifton is an original patient of Mr Duffy, first visiting Vision Splendid when she moved to Coonabarabran from Sydney as a preschool teacher in 1983 – 40 years ago!

Looking back on his career, Mr Duffy said he was met with a sense of nostalgia.

He reflected on what he had been able to achieve over that time in terms of equipment, standards of care and the expansion of his practices.

All the while working under the same principles of individual patient care, which he believes sets his practices apart from corporate counterparts.

But what’s the secret to 40 years in business?

Mr Duffy paid tribute to his wife, Katrina Duffy (Mackay), for her support since the beginning of his career, as well as his four children, and thanked the local community for their ongoing support.

Now Mr Duffy has his eyes firmly set on his next 40 years in optometry.

TAKE 10 WITH...

1. Tell me a bit about yourself?

I play polocrosse and it means I need to ride every day to keep my horses fit, which keeps me pretty busy. I’ve grown up riding alongside my three siblings and my mum - it’s kind of a way of life.

2. Why do you love riding horses?

I love riding because I like horses and getting the chance to meet people from all about.

3. What are your horses’ names?

Riley and Delight.

4. What’s their favourite snack?

A sneaky apple every now and again.

5. What is your favourite Expo memory?

Being on the polocrosse field late at night in the cold.

6. What has been your best result at Expo?

Being part of the winning Coona High team in the hunt in 2021; it’s a great team event.

7. How does it feel to be participating at Expo for the last time?

A bit sad, because it’s the end of an era for me, but I’m sure I won’t be saying that when I have to come back strapping for my little brother!

8. What is your favourite event to compete in and why?

Polocrosse, because I get to see a few mates I play with outside of Expo, and I get to show my friends from Coona what I go away to do each weekend.

9. What are your future plans after graduating high school?

Thinking about my options a bit – probably take a gap year.

10. Will continue riding well into the future?

Yeah, I’ve been riding all my life so can’t imagine not doing it.

I’m a Year 12 student at Coonabarabran High who has a passion for horses. I’ve lived in Coonabarabran my whole life.

2. Why do you love riding horses?

I love seeing the improvement in my horses and myself when I look back on where we started. I love how much you can learn about yourself and how we as people can connect with our horses. And, most of all, I love learning about each horse and their personalities and what makes them tick.

Cass.

4. What’s her favourite snack?

She loves most fruits, but her favourite is watermelon.

Probably last year when I took a big chestnut gelding, Roy, because I was unable to take my mare. I was so proud of him as it was only his third competition and placed 7th in his class.

My favourite part from last year was when my friend and I were plaiting up Roy one afternoon and it was a full hour of laughter and jokes.

6. What has been your best result at Expo?

Definitely the first year I competed. I placed 4th in my combined training class and placed 1st in the Expo mount class in the Tuesday Gymkhana.

7. How does it feel to be participating at Expo for the last time?

Bittersweet. It’s sad that it’s my last year, but there are plenty more competitions to compete in.

8. What is your favourite event to compete in and why?

Show jumping. I love the thrill of jumping and how straight show jumping can really test both horse and rider.

9. What are your future plans after graduating high school?

At the moment I’m not 100 per cent sure, but I hope to study equine science at Wagga to help me find a career in the equine industry.

10. Do you think you will continue riding horses well into the future?

Yes, they make up a huge part of who I am, and I would hate to lose that.

Weekly cattle and sheep market wrap • Continued elevated slaughter across sheep, lambs and cattle have led to the highest eastern states total slaughter numbers since 2002.

• High supply of stock, filled contracts and easing demand are all contributing to softening prices.

• Quality is still dictating the market, as buyers aren’t having to compete as much for stock.

Slaughter Slaughter levels remain elevated across lambs, sheep and cattle, leading to the highest combined eastern states slaughter since 20 02 at 642 ,50 0 head.

Cattle slaughter r e m a i n e d f i r m wh i l e lamb and sheep slaughter increased to 434,461 and 180,507 head respectively.

S ome processors a re repor ted ly booked out for some months, which is having some impact on demand at the saleyard.

With elevated sheep a n d l a m b s l au g h t e r, goat numbers have come back sl ightly as some processors prioritise other small stock.

Saleyard demand Elevated slaughter and

f illed contracts at the processors are reducing the need to supplement numbers at the saleyards.

This is being ref lected at large sales such as Wagga Wagga sheep and Roma cattle. Good quality stock are still fetching a premium price on plainer types.

The easing demand is a result of the numbers at sa leya rds reduci ng the need for buyers to compete. R estocker demand has also eased with good numbers onfarm after the extensive herd and flock rebuilds.

Stock mov ing d i rectly f rom the paddo ck t o feedlots and processors is further reducing the need for numbers to be supplemented.

This was reflected in an easing of the Feeder Steer indicator, reaching 319.18 ¢ / kg l iveweight ( lw t) w ith th roughput i ncreasi ng 4 0 % weekon-week. Mount Barker t raded at the h ighest premium on the national av e r a g e , a t 3 8 1 . 2 4 ¢ / kg lwt.

13%. Declining pasture quality in the region and some off loading of pregtested empty cattle have both affected the quality of cattle being presented, as well as the demand from buyers.

The Dalby cattle sale had a good show i ng of export buyers, with numbers increasing by nearly 2,000 head. A lift in quality for some lines s aw a s t r e n g t h e n i n g in price for these good quality cattle.

Town rallies for Sorry Day On Friday, 26 May, the Coonabarabran community came together once again to commemorate National Sorry Day, with this year’s event marking almost 10 years since the first march across the Mary Jane Cain bridge.

by JIMMY WHALAN T h e c h i l l y we at h e r and traf f ic mishaps weren’t enough to stop the Coonaba rab ran community from uniting for this impor tant commemoration, with this year’s event being described as one of the most well attended ever.

As always, the Sorr y Day march was attended

by Coonabarabran High School, Coonabarabran Pub l i c Schoo l and St L a w r e n c e’ s P r i m a r y School, as well as our local Aboriginal Elders and community members.

Coonabarabran Local Aboriginal Land

Council (CLALC) CEO, Brandon Nixon also gave a special welcome to Baradine Central School, Gunnedah Family Day Care, and Yuluwirri Kids, w h i c h a t te n d e d t h e event for the first time this year.

Star ting with a traditional smoking ceremony nea r the Coonabarabran tennis courts, the march began at 10. 3 0 a m, c ros s i n g t h e M a r y J a n e Ca i n bridge and continuing a l o n g J o h n St reet to the Coonaba rab ran Town hall for speeches, cu l t u ra l d a n ce s a n d refreshments.

Uncl e Casey D owd

gave a Welcome t o C o u n t r y, w h i c h was followed by a p e r fo r m a n ce by t h e Coonabarabran Yulugi Mari (dance group).

Students representing each of the three schools gave speeches about the importance of Sorry Day including Lily Hunter and Charlie Wilson from St Lawrence’s Primar y School, Kuparr Gordon from Coonabarabran Public School and a very m ov i n g s p e e ch f ro m Coonaba rab ran High School’s Sharmyra Gall.

The commemorations concluded with local E lder s l ighting remembrance candles

and the cutting of the cake.

M r N i xon ex tended his thanks to the many people and organisations that made this year’s Sorry Day commemorations possible.

“Our commemorations could not have happened today without the Coonaba rab ran Local Aboriginal Land Council event committee, Coonabarabran Public School, our speakers, Coonabarabran B a ke r y, Wo o l w o r t h s , Wa r r u m b u n g l e Shire Council and Coonabarabran Police,” Mr Nixon said.

“We are truly thankful

heartbreaking depiction of how this dark chapter i n o u r s h a red h i s to r y robbed an entire generation of children of their innocence, family, culture, and identity,” Ms Kuras said.

“The wounds inflicted th rough the Stolen Generation still r un d e e p i n o u r fa m i l i e s and communities as we continue to battle transg en e rat i o n a l t ra u m a w ith each and eve r y generation that passes.”

Ms Kuras explained that it was through the strength and resilience from our older people that has been instilled in us, that we are able to

for all of your support.”

Impact This year’s community speech was given by Talisha Kuras and was titled ‘Impact’.

Talisha said that as she marched over the Mary Jane Cain bridge with the many children who attended on the day, she was overwhelmed with emotion as she reflected on her grandmother’s story, and the fact that her grandmother was the same age as her son when she was taken from her mother.

“Her story, childhood and earliest memories are tarnished with grief and suffering and is a

navigate today’s world, despite the many social, political, and economic challenges and obstacles we face.

“Sorr y Day is an oppo r tunit y fo r al l of us to co m e tog eth e r to a ck n ow l e d g e t h e w ro n g d o i n g s i n o u r shared history through t r uth tel l i ng and to commemorate the strength and resilience of the survivors, their families, and our communities, as we all continue with o u r j o u r n ey to w a rd s reconciliation and the ongoing healing of our First Nations peoples and Australia as a nation.”

QUESTION: What does Sorry Day mean to you?

Kuparr Gordon: “It helps us remember our ancestors.

Dancing brings a lot of energy.”

Thomas, Raymond, Kyronne: “Brings a lot of pride and it is nice seeing everyone together.”

Paris Goolagong: “It is an oppourtunity to honour those who have not been honoured. To honour those whose experiences have never been acknowledged and that despite what happened, we are still here.”

Airborne electromagnetic survey in greater Dubbo to Coonabarabran region The NSW Government’s Geological Survey, in collaboration with Geoscience Australia, are conducting an airborne electromagnetic (AEM) survey to inform the search for mineral and groundwater resources.

The AEM survey area covers the greater Forbes to Dubbo region and has been extended north to the Coonabarabran region.

Matty Hunter: “Gives recognition to the past.”

A helicopter will fly at a height of 70 m collecting data during daylight hours in June 2023. It will fly approximately east–west along lines up to 7.5 km apart and will avoid homesteads, towers, stock concentrations and steep terrain. It will remain within the survey boundary shown, except when turning around at the end of a survey line or flying to or from airfields.

Mouse plague gone but not forgotten Who can forget the mouse plague and its impact on homes, farms and businesses?

Researchers have been in Coonabarabran to learn and prepare for future plagues.

by CHRIS WARD A cohort of researchers have conducted interviews i n the Wa r r u mbu ngle Shire in regards to the mouse plag ue and the e f fe c t s it h ad on t he community.

Stephen Henry, from the CSI RO, said there were a number of t ea ms ca nvassi ng the communities that were hit by the 2021 mouse plague.

They were in Coonabarabran on Wednesday, 3 May. “What they were doing was talking to a number of different representatives from different aspects of rural communities,” Mr Henry said. “ That included grain producers, business owners, council members; a real cross section of the community to collect as much info as possible ab out t he i mpac t t he mouse plague had in a bid to better understand what’s happening in the community.”

The team consisted of two social scientists and an economist.

“They will eventually a na lyse the data t o formulate a bigger survey,”

Mr Henry said.

“We can quantify the economic impact but the social impact is harder.

“But no one ever forgets living through a mouse plague.

“When there’s a drought you can go inside into the air con or swim in the pool for a bit of relief, but during a mouse plague they’re everywhere. “ You can’t get away from them. The vision we were seeing during the plague in those areas were horrifying. “ T he end goal of

when the cold weather hit.

“But a lot of animals we have autopsied recently have been pretty fat, which means they are more likely to survive the winter,” Mr Henry said. “ T he r e ’s b e en h i g h nu mber s th r oughout the cropping zones, but they have been patchy in nature.”

The mouse expert said it was impor tant that f a r mer s c ont i nue d t o remain vigilant, monitor numbers and treat each paddock individually and bait where necessary.

NARELLE PFEIFFER

Warrumbungle National Park: Part 1 Residents of Warrumbungle Shire are extremely proud of the natural beauty preserved in the National Park, but few know the origin of how the Warrumbungle National Park came to be.

Myles Dunphy is believed to be the main instigator in creating the Warrumbungle National Park and, together with references to him in the fol low i ng not es ab out his role in the process of establishing the park, it is certain that he was.

Most official documents r efer t o t he Nat ion a l Pa rks a nd P r i m itive Areas (NPPA) Council as being the main initiating body, and it must be noted that Dunphy, the hon. secretary, was not the only member of the NPPA Council.

T he other u n na med memb er s h ad ju s t a s much input as he did, and this applied not only for Warrumbungle but also for all new national monument proposals.

They were obviously a strong-minded group of people with firm opinions.

However, when some thought is g iven t o the process of land development in western N S W i n t he pr ev iou s 115 years since Oxley’s visit, it is hard to imagine t h at t ho s e s qu at t er s , settlers, leaseholders and freeholders did not have some admiration for the scenic landscape.

There must have been s ome t h o u g ht s a b o ut protecting it for future generations.

Even though the conser vation ethic may not have been the most popula r cultu ra l activity, the existence of magnificent scenery and complex geolog y, w ith well-watered and shady creeks, must have had an attraction to the local communities for holiday and recreation purposes.

T here are many e x a mple s o f 18 0 0 ’s pho t o g r aph s s how i n g groups of people visiting and posing on rocks with the mounta ins beh ind them.

Wa t e r h o l e s i n t h e creeks were very popular in summer, as there were no rural town swimming pools available.

There is little doubt that these people had a sense of ownership and pride in their mountains.

Maybe this is one of the reasons that the present day local communities su r r ou nd i ng the pa rk still treat it as belonging to them, rather than the state-run National Parks and Wildlife Service.

Because there weren’t many national parks in the country at the time, most politicians had very little knowledge on how they should be created and managed – or even how to name them.

It wasn’t until Jack Renshaw and, afterwards, Tom Lewis got their hands on the reins, that national park creation began to happen.

T he Warrumbungles h ad ma ny E u r ope a n visitors after 1818.

A s shown in c h apt er t h r e e o f T h e Warrumbungles, Jensen (a geologist) was the first

to put the virtues of the landscape on paper; he must have spent many days camping and prospecting in the mountains.

H is thought s wou ld have been on how and when the mountains were formed, assessing whether there were any ores of commercial value in the depths of the range, but he had no suggestions to make the area a national attraction.

It is not hard to understand why there was no drive to create a conservation park.

As indicated earlier, the idea of a park in those times was mainly for the purpose of recreation, and the establishment of any such area as a park was assumed in most people’s minds to be similar to a formal English park.

The remoteness of the r a n g e f r om t he m a i n urban areas would have prevented any intention to create a recreation park where few people would be able to use it.

However, there could have been many thoughts in most of those people’s minds on what could be done to protect t he l a nd s c ap e o f t he Warrumbungle Range.

It only needed certain people with conservation attitudes to promote this national treasure.

It may have star ted with Dunphy; however, as we study his papers, we find that others had also made suggestions, some by word of mouth and others in official reports.

The Warrumbungles are discovered B ecause of his deep conservation interests, Myles D u nphy v isit ed many parks in his lifetime.

However, he did not visit the Warrumbungles until 1955.

He i nvestigat ed the Nandewars as early as 1915, and was not aware of the Warrumbungles until in the 1930s; rock climbers and bush walkers reported the h igh precipit ous peaks that existed near Coonabarabran.

A lt h o u g h h e a n d I passed through the Warrumbungle National Park on many occasions, I never had the pleasure of meeting him.

I had stud ied a nd u s e d h i s m aps i n my bushwalking and Trust activ ities w ith more intensity than most, and found them to be excellent examples of pre-high tech surveying and mapping.

T hey a re the best examples of the old order o f h a nd c a r t o g r aph ic method that I have ever seen and remind me of the mapping exercises that I was supposed create in my early engineering studies.

About 1935, some of Dunphy’s friends told him about the Warrumbungle r o ck for mat ion s; they seemed remarkable.

He learned that others had gone there for rockclimbing; apparently some features had height.

It be c a me appa r ent

the Warrumbungle area could be the better of two schemes for major parkland.

Dunphy then explained the reason for the selection of the Warrumbungles over the Nandewa rs for i nvestigation as a conservation area: “ Hav ing studied the matter to some extent, the next thing was to go there a nd i nspect the place to obtain first-hand knowledge, but it was not possible to organise a party to do this until a vacation became available.”

For some time the park scheme had to remain an exception to the rule of work decided on by the NPPA Council. Also, the councillors were busy with other parkland schemes.

It was clea r that of the two nor th-western prospects, Nandewars and Warrumbungles, there were cogent reasons in favour of the latter, so the Nandewars’ prospect was set aside for future attention and Dunphy concentrated attention on the Wa r r umbungle prospect.

To introduce the United States concept of ‘national monument ’ i nt o NS W, Dunphy thought there would be no better subject than the Warrumbungle Mountains.

But , when the ti me came, he was careful to state ‘national monument’ or ‘national park’.

The authorities did not like change or innovation.

Tentative scheme designs The germ ideas were sketched by Dunphy in 1935 after some of the la rger t opog raph ica l units had been identified and several names given: Connector R a nge , Wa lga R a nge , Tooraweanah Range and Wallumburrawang Range.

T here was reason for speed in the public interest, as the whole of the elevated country had been taken up, consisting of f reehold proper ties and Crown leases; the latter could be revoked if necessary.

T he pr op osa ls wer e placed before the NPPA Council, with comments that no more clea r ing shou ld be permitt ed because it had gone too far already. The vegetation conser vation of the highlands was imperative to protect water catchment areas; somewhat ambitious then considering the size of the Great A r tesia n Basin and the small water supply needs of the local communities.

The councillors agreed to accept the national monument concept. If it proved too difficult it could be altered to a national park. It was thought the scientific groups would find more interest in the assemblage of volcanic features.

It was lef t t o M . J. D u nphy t o for mu l at e further.

Flash fiction winner Local creative writers made clever use of the prompts in this month’s flash fiction writing competition.

by EMMA HARVEY Congratulations to this month’s Write-Off winner, Helen Anderson!

He l e n’s s u bm i s s i o n ‘Strawberry Shortcake’ approached this month’s flash fiction challenge with energy and originality.

The abstract prompts of ‘bruise’, ‘strawberry’ and ‘swept’, were woven into this story in unique and meaning ful ways, resu lti ng i n a neatlycontained, highly-

enjoyable tale of schoolyard karma.

Helen has won a copy of the new thriller Home Before Night by bestselling Australian author J.P. Pomare. Congratulations Helen!

To a l l other eager writers across our Shire: r e ady you r pen s (or keyboards)! Our June flash fiction prompt is ‘broken glass’ and the prize on offer is a copy of The Paris Agent, by Kelly Rimmer.

Helen Anderson, winner of the recent Write-Off competition, has won a copy of Home Before Night by bestselling Australian author J.P. Pomare.

Strawberry Shortcake

by Helen Anderson The new kid was last in. Long, scruffy, blond hair, swept back crudely into a ponytail. Shoulders hunched, trousers patched, and hems tattered.

Andrew instantly spotted the strawberry shaped birthmark on his face.

“You been into Mummy’s makeup, Strawberry Shortcake?” He snorted, along with all the others.

Tom ignored them. He had heard it all before.

Later, going home, Andrew confronted him.

“Well if it isn’t Strawberry Shortcake himself!”

“Have you always been such a dickhead? Or is that just a newly acquired skill?”

Tom was both stunned and impressed with how those words had the courage to leave his mouth.

Until now they had only existed in his thoughts.

Knowing that he had just put a match to a powder keg, why wouldn’t his legs run? Years of taunts festered inside him.

But how tough was he really?

Andrew lunged at him in a mad frenzy.

His mind screamed RUN, but Tom stood his ground.

An angry fist was thrust in his direction. Time seemed to slow down. He could make out each individual freckle and bulging vein on Andrew’s hand as it came closer. Inch by inch.

Just as it was about to reach its destination on Tom’s cheek, a slight side-step averted certain torture.

Andrew was put off-balance. He staggered a few steps, then struck a light pole and collapsed into a writhing, howling mess.

The next day, Tom confidently swaggered into class and was the first one seated.

Last to arrive, Andrew shuffled in, limping.

Shoulders hunched; head bowed slightly. He slid into his seat without looking up.

All the boys saw it though.

“Look, now we have two Strawberry Shortcakes!” they sneered.

The bruise was indeed a perfect match to Tom’s birthmark.

Tooraweenah Preschool Preschool friends have been loving Bush Preschool each week on alternate Wednesdays and Fridays.

Balancing carefully along some logs has also tested us – especially if we have our drink bottle in one hand! Everyone has now mastered their climbing skills when getting up the steep mountains and conquered our fears of slipping by remembering to walk sideways (like a goat) and place our feet sideways as we climb. We sure have established our ‘running track’ for going down!

We have also ventured in and along the creek, taking note of this e n v i r o n m e n t c l o s e l y.

C h i ld ren have been looking at the water depth and the water g rasses growing here – and even found yabbie claws! We’ve made boats with sticks and leaves and have been watching them float along and explored the riverbank

in general. We’ve also d is c overed s ome baby galahs and parrots nesting in the big trees, native bees buzzing at their hive in the tree and some very large ant nests and lots of hoof prints – both cows and horses.

F r i e n d s h av e b e e n enjoying our dress-ups, i nc lud i n g s ome c r a z y animal outfits. We had to use the mobile phones we made for craft to call the zoo about their escaped animals! Some incredible art and craft masterpieces have been made and we have been learning about and practicing being kind and caring to each other, taking turns and sharing.

(Puppet friends Kate, Jack and A nna from PA L S: Playing and Learning to Socialise Program; have given us some tips).

M iss Sha n non went shopping and got lots of new tractors and farm equipment toys. We now have a large range of these

vehicles, all of different makes and colours, with lots of smaller ones for inside play on ou r ‘farm’. These have been a great addition to our preschool farm with sheep yards, animals, and our paddocks, both green and brown ploughed paddocks.

Several good crops have been sow n w ith these new tractors and some have even been harvested already as they were such good crops.

There are also some new tract ors for the sandpit collection which have gone down a treat, w ith f r iend s enjoy i ng time outside together at the sandpit, riding the bikes together and lots of dramatic play around the fruit shop, with the babies and prams, and the picnic table at the sandpit. We’ve also enjoyed gardening together, and watching some large butterflies and some birds also enjoying our playground.

Another busy week has flashed past at CPS despite the dropping temperature, enthusiasm and activity levels remain high.

Simultaneous Storytime A spectacular week of excitement last week as we had national Simultaneous Storytelling. This was made immense fun as Mrs Meyers’ class had practiced reading and acting the book of The Speed Sloth. Every class was treated to a hilarious and clever presentation of the book. So much more fun than just having the teacher read it.

Each class then had a variety of literacy-related activities to complete, some of which are proudly displayed in the school entrance. As if that wasn’t enough frivolity, we then had a scrumptious morning tea of cup cakes to raise funds for the dance group travels. Delicious!

Gunnedah eisteddfod Three members of our school travelled to Gunnedah to participate in the annual eisteddfod.

Bella Staniforth competed in the monologue section and recited “I hate performing”, which she performed beautifully against some really tough competition.

Ben Turner competed in the monologue section and recited a monolgue by HG Wells from the Invisible Man. He also performed a poem from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Ben enjoyed this experience, even though he found it nerve racking!

Lily Weatherall competed in the prose reading where she read a piece from Alice in Wonderland. Lily was very successful and read exceptionally well. She won this section of the eisteddfod.

Lily then went on to compete in the sight reading and was awarded a highly commended for her efforts reading “Oh the places you go”

by Dr Seuss. Lily did a poem reading, reading fluently and confidently.

Congratulations and well done on a remarkable achievement!

Congratulations to all these students.

State rugby league We wish Hudson Jenner all the best of luck at the State Rugby League trials being held in Sydney.

Hudson is part of the North West under 11 team.

Class news Mrs Kearney’s Year 2 were thoroughly engaged

in their Lego maths lesson.

There was counting, sorting and all number of patterns being created.

The industry in the room was focused and busy.

The MC class loves their beginning riding lessons with RDA. Each Monday

they head down to the racetrack and under the caring guidance of Aurelie Harris and the wonderful support volunteers. Here they learn about the horses and begin their activities on the metal ponies to be ready for the real ones.

Tooraweenah Public Life Education Van Last Thursday, students visited Healthy Harold in the Life Education van. They helped Harold discover all about our bodies and how healthy food and exercise gives us energy and makes us strong. It is always an exciting and engaging experience for the students when the lights go down and the stars on the roof come out. At the end, students were able to play a few games with Harold, give him a pat and have a quick photo. Another wonderful experience that was enjoyed by students and teachers alike.

P&C Fund-raise Winging It Down The Castlereagh The P&C held a very successful fund-raiser at “Winging it Down the Castlereagh” last Saturday, with all food sold out. The estimated

profit from the day was over $1500 and with over 400 spectators through the gate, it was a great community day celebrating Cecil Arthur Butler’s significant contribution to our local history.

Simultaneous Storytime The preschool students joined the school students in the Kindergarten classroom for a reading of the story The Speedy Sloth, at 11am on Wednesday, 24 May, as part of the nationwide Simultaneous Storytime. The event aims to raise awareness of the importance of reading to children for their language development.

Thank you to Miss Marie and Miss Shannon for bringing the preschool students to the Kindergarten classroom to join us.

Hamish Jenkin represented the school at the Dubbo District Cross Country.

Is this the best-ever Kookas?

The Coonabarabran Kookaburras Rugby Union Club appears to have a once-in-a-generation team this year, as the Geurie Goats became the fourth club in a row to concede over 60 points to this amazing group of players, eventually losing 68-10.

RUGBY UNION Prior to kick off, in what was a wonderful night in Dubbo, a memorial game was held between the Geurie Goats and Dubbo R o os I mmor t a ls for a local, Marty Tink, who apparently had played for both clubs. As a result, there was a huge crowd in attendance to support his family and mental health, along with supporting the Goats’ game.

David Bruce, our very own live caller on 2WCR radio, jokingly commented t h a t “ t h e Wa r a t a h s sometimes don’t play in front of crowd like this one.”

Apex Oval witnessed some amazing long-range tries from Coonabarabran, none better than one from Jarrod Michael, who took an intercept as the Goats were hot on attack early in the second half and ran 85 metres to score under the posts.

AROUND THE TRAPS WEEKEND GOLF Last Saturday, 27 May, a small field played a stableford at the Coonabarabran Golf Club.

The winner was Ron Sullivan on 35 points.

Balls went to K Vallette 34 and A Larance 33.

This weekend we cruise into the June Monthly Medal, sponsored by

Davidson and Cameron & Co. Tee off will be 11.30am, and there are some great prizes up for grabs.

Don’t forget, subs will be due before you play. If you are having trouble paying, these please come and talk to me.

VETERANS’ GOLF Tuesday, 23 May Nine veteran golfers took part in the Coonabarabran Golf Club’s Tuesday competition on 23 May, with some of the veterans saying that the course has never been better. Well done to all.

The winner on the day

was Dave Bunyan with a net 33, and the runner up was Ron Sullivan with a net 34.

Nearest to the pin was won by Dick Clark, while John Wood won the long putt.

Good golfing.

Humour A teenage boy had just passed his driving test and inquired of his father as to when they could discuss the use of the car.

His father said, “ I’ll ma ke a dea l w ith you s o n . Yo u b r i n g y o u r grades up from C to a B average, study the Bible a little and get your hair cut. Then we’ll talk about the car.”

T he boy thought about that for a moment, decided he’d settle for the offer and they agreed on it.

After about six weeks h is father sa id , “ S on , you’ve brought you r g rades up and I ’ve observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I’m disappointed you haven’t had you r ha i r cut.”

T he b oy s a id , “ You k now Dad , I ’ve been thinking about that and I’ve noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, M o s e s h ad lon g h a i r, and there’s even strong evidence that Jesus had long hair.”

Kookas captain, Dave Su lt er is a consta nt danger with ball in hand and he ran through the G eu r ie defenders for 40-metre five pointer.

Brent Morrissey, who c o u ld b e pl ay i n g t h e best rugby of his 13-year c a r e e r, a l s o s c or e d a wonderful half-back’s try as he completely wrong footed the defence from the base of a ruck to run 20 metres to score.

Mind you, the Goats’ defence was br uta l at times as thei r one - of f tackling was punishing, no more so than when one of their players nearly cut the light-weight Harry Willoughby in half after a good run – it looked like he may never get up.

Harry has come over f r om s o c c er a nd it i s always amazing how the awareness to get back into position quickly is an attribute soccer players bring to rugby. As, one phase later, there was Harry at fullback taking the ball from a Geurie kick in our half and then r un n i ng back at them again, this time slicing through the defence to set up a wonderful try for Luke Michael to score.

Geurie were their own worst enemy for much of the game with some poor handling, disjointed defensive line and illd i s c ipl i ne , wh ich saw two players given yellow cards. As a result, they were down to 14 men for 2 0 m i nut es; you don’t want to do that this year pl ay i ng t he K o ok a s .

G e u r i e h av i n g t h r e e players out on suspension from last week’s game a lso showed t owa rds t he end o f t he g a me , as Coonabarabran was running tries in at will.

This included a fantastic team try that went for 50 metres down field with a catch and pass from a lot of the team to eventually find Jed McEvoy out wide, who brought it around under the posts to finish the game in style.

It was g reat to see many ex-Coonabarabran f ol k wh o n ow l i v e i n and around Dubbo come

along and suppor t the Kookas includ ing T im Sawyer, Dan Sheridan, Alex Bagley and Amelia K night – to mention a few. And what about Alan Poyner, who ran the line for the third week in a row.

We are now at the end of the first round and the Kookaburras have had their best-ever start to a season, with seven wins plus the maximum seven bonus points for scoring four tries or more in a game. Coonabarabran is sitting 10 points clear on top of the ladder. We are averaging a winning score of 59.50 to 10.85, while the last four games were an incredible 76.5 to 7.25.

C o on aba r abr a n h a s s t r en g t h a l l over t he paddock with forwards and backs that can score f r om a ny wher e. P lu s , s it t i n g on t he b enc h , there are nearly enough nu m b e r s f o r a n o t h e r team that has enough quality to be competitive aga i nst most clubs i n the competition. Coaches Redden and Clifton have problems every club coach in the world would love.

So, what goals could this team achieve for the remainder of the year? I write now with complete hubr is a nd da nger ous arrogance. Firstly, the biggest prize would be t o be c ome u ndefe at ed premiers for 2023 season.

Secondly, if the team can possibly score an average of 64 points for the next seven competition games, plus assuming the two finals games, they have the pot entia l t o score 1000 points in the season.

Thirdly, players’ personal goals; as I was speaking to Sam Wilson after the game, who tells me he has now scored 12 tries and his best ever was 18 tries for the Cessnock under 18’s rugby league team.

Could he better that this year? Other players would have other goals, I’m sure.

N ow, a ny pl ay e r who has just read that last pa rag raph should immediately backspace it out of their head, as the only possible result is that

we will end up like the undefeated Blayney last year and not even make the grand final.

Above all, in a year like this, the goal is to win the next game, respect the opposition and the referee, make the game enjoyable for all your team mat es a nd be hu mble about our success. But most importantly, ensure mat ch day is the best ever for all our amazing supporters and sponsors.

Terriers top the table!

The Gulgong Terriers sit alone at the top of the Castlereagh League table as the only undefeated side after four rounds of the 2023 competition.

CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE Playing at home, the Terriers proved to be too strong for the v isiting Baradine Magpies, scoring seven tries to two in their 38 to 12 win, with their talented fullback Ethan Pegus proving to be a real handful for the Baradine defence as he crossed for four tries in the victory.

At the same time, the Cobar Roosters, the only other unbeaten side going into round four, suffered a loss on their home turf to

the Narromine Jets.

In what was an entertaining and closelycontested game, the Jets claimed the competition points with a 10 -point winning margin, the final score being 36 to 26.

game.

B oth the Coonamble Bears and the Gilgandra Panthers opened thei r winning accounts for the 2023 season when they dow ned the Bi n naway B ombshells and the Coonabarabran Unicorns respectively. The Bears won 40 to 28 at The Crater and the Panthers were victorious, 42 to 30, in a high-scoring game played in Gilgandra.

Any confidence taken out of that win by the Panthers will be put to the test this Saturday, 3 June, when they travel to Narromine to battle it out with the high-flying Jets in a Boronia Cup challenge game.

This will be Narromine’s third defence of the Cup after they initially secured it when t hey pl aye d Gilgandra late last year.

Apart from the retention of the famous bit of silverware, the Jets will be keen to get one back over the Panthers after Gilgandra downed them in the 2022 major semi at Cale Oval to secure the grand-final hosting rights.

(The Boronia Cup is not played for during finals games).

Other games this Saturday see the Cobar Roosters at home again, this time to Coonabarabran.

Undoubtedly, the 2022 premiers will be smarting from their loss on their beloved Tom Knight Oval to the Jets, and after a long road trip the Unicorns can expect a rousing reception from their hosts.

At Baradine, the Dunedoo Swans w i ll clash with the Magpies in what is an important game for both clubs, with the Maggies searching for their first win of the year and the visitors out to shore up their position in the top four.

The final game will see the youthful Binnaway side travel to Gulgong’s Billy Dunn Oval, tasked with the unenviable job of being the first team to lower the Terrier’s colours in 2023!

Blue skies and tailwinds for Max A Castlereagh air rally that gives a nod to air transport history was, fittingly, won by a local with a life-long passion for flying.

by JIMMY WHALAN O n S a t u r d ay, 2 0 M ay, M a x P h i l l ips , a Coonabarabran local now studying at the University o f N e w S o u t h Wa l e s (UNSW), won the Winging it down the Castlereagh air rally.

Also called the Arthur Butler Trophy, Max won the inaugural competition by meticulously planning his flight path to reach certain check points at an estimated time.

T he route for the f l i g ht c o m m e n c e d i n Tooraweenah, navigating along the Castlereagh to Coonabarabran, Binnaway, Mendooran, Gilgandra, Coonamble, Magometon Hill, then, finally, back to Tooraweenah.

The competition was a real test of basic navigation skills and points were given based on the accuracy of a competitor’s predicted time to complete the route.

With a set of staggered take-offs from the fastest to the slowest plane, the air rally began with a flag drop by Member for Barwon, Roy Butler, who officially kicked off the event.

In his trusty Fuji FA200 Aero Subaru, Max took on the challenge, along with around 12 other competitors, finishing the course in 109 minutes, just two minutes over his predicted time of 107

minutes.

A ny thing within a few m i nut e s of t he predicted time earned a competitor a full score, which was achieved by four competitors on the day.

Precision W hat set Max apart from his fellow competitors, however, was the precision of h i s f l ight pl a n ; i n particular, his fuel plan.

For his efforts in the competition, Ma x was awarded the 2023 Arthur Butler Trophy, the book Flight to a Lady by C. Arthur Butler, and a pilot’s wings badge adorned with the Butler Air Transport logo.

It’s no surprise that Max was able to excel at this competition, given that he was just 11 years old when he first began formal flight training!

H av i n g p a s s e d h i s

pilot’s licence exams at just 13, his completion of this significant milestone at such a young age meant he h ad t o wa it t h r e e years before he could get his pilot’s licence at the minimum age of 16.

When asked how it felt to have won the competition, Ma x said that he was surprised to be described as the “most professional” of the competing pilots from across the region.

“It was really rewarding t o come f i rst i n the competition, especially in the event’s first year,” Max said.

Moving forward, Max said he is looking forward to Coonabarabran’s Wings and T hings next year, wh i c h w i l l n ow b e a biennial event, alternating with the Arthur Butler Trophy competition.

Butler Air Trophy history Max Phillips explained that the Butler Air Trophy competition was first held to celebrate the history of the Tooraweenah Aerodrome.

“Butler Air Transport (BAT), founded in 1934 by Cecil Arthur Butler OBE, was a regional airline which serviced regional NSW, carrying both passengers and post,” Max said.

“Tooraweenah was the home base of BAT, which used the airfield to transfer passengers to larger aircraft before flying into Sydney.

“BAT was bought by Ansett Airlines in the late 1950s, and since then the history has been largely forgotten, despite the considerable importance of air travel in an era before paved highways.”

Max Phillips, of Coonabarabran, was the inaugural winner of the Arthur Butler Trophy, at Tooraweenah’s Winging it down the Castlereagh air rally held on Saturday, 20 May.

Liverpool Plains farmer elected to global group LIVERPOOL PLAINS Liverpool Plains farmer and National Farmers’ Federation president Fiona Simson will take her agricultural advocacy to a global level following her election to the World Farmers’ Organisation.

Ms Simson, who was elected in 2016 as the national federation’s first female president, was announced as the World Farmers’ Organisation’s newest director at a general assembly in Sun City, South Africa.

She was elected to represent the Oceania constituency of the international organisation which has its headquarters in Rome.

The Oceania constituency represents farmers in Australia and New Zealand.

“Farmers are at the forefront of the big issues facing the world,” Ms Simson said.

“When it comes to climate change, food security, economic development and environmental protection, farmers are part of the solution.

“It’s important that when discussions are being held at the global level on issues impacting on agriculture, Australian farmers will be able to have a voice in those discussions.

“A strong voice for Oceania in the WFO provides an opportunity for NFF to communicate Australian industry and government approaches in these global forums.

“It is essential to food and fibre producers a strong voice on the big global issues.”

The World Farmers’ Organisation is the global voice for farmers across the world.

It represents farmers in international forums through the ‘Farmer Constituency’ a collaboration of farmers organisations from diverse countries.

“The World Farmers’ Organisation is at the heart of global discussions,” Ms Simson said.

“Whether its COP or the UN Food Systems Summit, the WFO has a seat at the table.

“As a director, I can ensure Australian farmers are heard at the highest levels.

Ms Simson also paid tribute to Katie Milne, outgoing WFO vice president and Oceania board director.

“Katie Milne has been a phenomenal representative of farmers in Australia and New Zealand,” Ms Simson said.

“I’m proud to be able to carry on Katie’s work, ensuring that the voices of farmers in our region are heard everyday around the world.”

Active Former cotton scientist Keep Kids Voucher going, returns to research roots scheme MP urges Former cotton scientist Dr Nicola Cottee has returned to her research roots, joining CRDC's innovation team.

Dr Cottee has a long-standing association with CRDC, the industry and cotton research.

She completed her CRDC and CSIRO-supported PhD into the heat tolerance of cotton at the Australian Cotton Research Institute in Narrabri in 2009.

Since then, Dr Cottee has worked as a postdoctoral fellow with CSIRO, as a research direction and stewardship policy officer with Cotton Australia, and most recently, as a senior technical advisor with the NSW Environment Protection Authority.

Dr Cottee is based in Sydney, and has joined the CRDC team part time as an R&D manager, or, as the role will be known from July onwards, an innovation broker.

CRDC executive director Ian Taylor said Nicola brings extensive cotton experience to CRDC, further strengthening CRDC’s team.

“We are delighted to welcome Nicola to the CRDC team as we prepare to start investing under our new Strategic RD&E Plan 2023-28.

“One of the core pillars of our new plan is people, and our goal under this pillar is to continue to develop our world-class researchers," he said.

“Nicola is a perfect example of this: a former CRDC-supported PhD scholar, who went on to work as a researcher, policy officer and technical advisor, bringing her experience and skills back to CRDC to lead a portfolio of

Dr Nicola Cottee has joined the CRDC’s innovation team. Photo supplied by CRDC investments. Nicola’s strong network and experience will be of great benefit to CRDC and the wider cotton industry.”

The three pillars of the new CRDC Strategic R&D Plan 2023-28 are paddock, people and planet, aligning with the

Australian Cotton Industry’s Sustainability Framework.

The plan will commence on July 1, and CRDC general manager, innovation Allan Williams will lead its implementation.

He will be supported by Dr Cottee and her fellow innovation

brokers, Susan Maas, Dr Merry Conaty, Elsie Hudson, Stacey Vogel and Rachel Holloway.

The CRDC R&D manager role is being renamed innovation broker to better describe the role under the new plan: a broker of research innovation investment.

Member for Tamworth Kevin Anderson is calling on his constituents to sign a petition to save the Active Kids Voucher program.

The funding program, which was created by previous NSW Coalition government, provides a $100 voucher for parents, guardians and carers of school-enrolled children to use towards sport and active recreation costs each year.

More than 14,000 vouchers were created in the Tamworth electorate last year but Mr Anderson said this is now under threat as the NSW Labor government is yet to confirm the voucher program will continue.

“I know how important the Active Kids voucher program has been for our families, helping keep kids on the sporting field throughout a cost-of-living crisis,” Mr Anderson said.

“Thousands of kids will be having fun on the sporting field this weekend thanks to these vouchers and the hustle and bustle of a day our on the sporting field must continue. We have asked the government to commit to continuing these vouchers, but so far, we’ve heard nothing from the government.

“What’s most disappointing about their stance, is that they don’t seem to recognise the negative impact these cuts would have on our volunteer-run sporting clubs.

“Ultimately, the cost would have to be met by those who can least afford it right now – young families, many of whom have a mortgage. Those families simply can’t afford the additional cost right now and I’m concerned that kids will just miss out.”

While a voucher is available for families until June 30, the government said no money has been allocated beyond this financial year to fund the vouchers, pending a review of the program.

Mr Anderson is calling on community members to join the fight to save the vouchers, by signing the Save Active Kids petition.

Station artwork to be unveiled MOREE Two murals which tell the story of Aboriginal people’s involvement in the railway precinct in Moree, as part of a $1.8 million upgrade to the town’s historic railway station, were expected to be unveiled today, Tuesday, May 30.

The murals, created by artists Laura Pitt and Lena Smith, incorporate elements of the surrounding landscape and will feature the handprints of some of the Aboriginal workers to thank them for their contribution.

“We’re proud to be bringing some of those Aboriginal workers back to place their handprints on the murals as a permanent tribute to them,” Transport for NSW regional director west, Alistair Lunn said.

“Many Aboriginal people were employed as fettlers and helped build the railway line between Narrabri and Moree and we hope they, along with the rest of the community, feel a sense of pride when they see their handprints on the new murals.

“The murals are a beautiful representation of the Indigenous culture in Moree, which will stand out to customers as they enter the newly upgraded station.”

The artists, both Gamilaroi women with strong ties to Moree, were selected in consultation with local Aboriginal representatives.

They combined their creative skills to paint the murals on the south-facing wall of the station building and along the ramp leading up to the platform respectively.

Ms Pitt started painting as a young girl, taking inspiration from her father and brothers who were also painters, and creating her own style.

She was selected to design the NRL All Stars Jersey in 2019 and Gold Coast Titans Indigenous Round Jersey in 2020.

“My inspiration is the land I come from, which is Moree, and I try to interpret the land animals as well as our Dreamtime stories which have been passed down because it’s so important to share our history and culture,” Ms Pitt said.

“

The murals are a beautiful representation of the Indigenous culture in Moree, which will stand out to customers as they enter the newly upgraded station.

“”

“With this artwork I’ve got the goanna, which is the Gamilaroi nation totem, the train tracks to take in the history of the railway and the Aboriginal Elders and people who worked on the railway throughout their lifetime.

“There are turtles going through the Mehi river which flows through our country and the Aboriginal flag which represents the Aboriginal community in Moree.

“I hope the community feel proud when they walk past and say ‘that’s our community and that represents us’.”

Ms Smith is also a generational artist who grew up watching her family paint and has several murals in Moree already, including the On Demand bus service, as well as commissions in the Northern Territory.

She met with some of the Aboriginal men who worked on the railway line and captured their journey in the mural.

“I chose browns, greens and blues to represent the land, the grass and the sky,” Ms Smith said.

“I’ve got the Mehi River, the arches representing shelter which is for the workers and their homes, and I’ve got meeting circles which represent Moree and some of the little towns the train goes through on the way to Sydney.

“There are footprints of the native animals around here including kangaroos and emus, and footprints representing the workers to capture their journey building the track.

“I met with some of the men who worked here, listened to their stories and I hope they see their stories represented in what

I’ve painted.”

The now complete Moree Railway Station upgrade, funded through the NSW government’s Transport Access Program (TAP), has made accessing the station much easier for people with a disability, people with limited

mobility, parents and carers with prams, and customers with luggage.

Work to upgrade existing footpaths and ramps around the station precinct, improved access to the kiss-and-ride bay and taxi zone and a new accessible

parking space, along with a formalised bus stop at the station entrance, started in December 2021.

There have also been improvements to the waiting room, ticket office and other amenities including ambulant toilets.

Marshall calls for more police resources MOREE State Member for Northern Tablelands Adam Marshall has taken his call for more police resources in the region direct to the Minister for Police Yasmin Catley, during a meeting in parliament last week.

Mr Marshall asked the minister for additional senior police positions to be allocated to the New England Police District, to bolster existing numbers and give local officers the resources they needed to combat a recent spike in criminal activity.

“Our local police are doing the absolute best job they can to combat crime at the moment,” Mr Marshall said in a statement released last week.

“But like so many of our frontline services, they are stretched, with vacancies and positions hard to recruit for.

“The communities across the Northern Tablelands want to see more men and women in blue patrolling their local streets.”

Mr Marshall said while the region had seen more than 70 new Probationary Constables appointed to the region in the last three years, which was very welcome, what was needed was additional permanent senior positions to increase the district’s authorised strength.

“I made it clear to the minister that we need more boots on the ground in the region and while the allocation of officers is controlled by the local Commander, I would like to see them placed in Moree, to enable more proactive policing operations and more trucks out in the community each night,” Mr Marshall said.

“

The communities across the Northern Tablelands want to see more men and women in blue patrolling their local streets.

“”

“Ideally we need some extra Sergeant and Senior Constable positions allocated, which will give more capacity to supervise extra shifts and more probationary constables.

“The minister indicated she would be discussing my request with the Commissioner and would also accept my invitation to visit the Northern Tablelands quite soon.”

Mr Marshall also used the

meeting to enlist the minister’s help in pressing the Local Court, particularly the magistrate presiding over the Inverell and Moree circuit, to get tough on local crime and repeat offenders.

“Our local communities and police are becoming more and more frustrated with repeat offenders being given the ‘soft touch’ in the Local Court, being put back out on the streets and community expectations and safety being ignored,” Mr Marshall said.

“Policing is a hard enough job at the moment, but I cannot imagine how demoralising it must be for our men and women in blue to make a series of good arrests, only to have the alleged offenders bailed, back on the streets and go straight back to terrorising the local community.”

Mr Marshall called on the Local Court magistrate to apply the law with the safety and wellbeing of the local community as the paramount consideration.

“The community wants to see the courts get tough on crime and back our local cops and victims of crime,” he said.

“The minister and I will be sitting down with the Attorney General in the coming weeks to seek his intervention to have the courts get tough on repeat offenders.”

Northern Tablelands MP Adam Marshall, left, met with Police Minister Yasmin Catley in parliament last week to request the allocation of extra senior police positions at Moree, among other issues.

Need for flood review to prevent further risk, says NSW Farmers YOUR PARTNER IN PRECISION AGRICULTURE Vantage NSW specialises in integrating agronomy, hardware, software and services to improve productivity and profitability to service the increasing complexity of farming operations.

We are very lucky to have the people we have in our business who treat each job and customer with the detail required to be successful in our field.

Vantage NSW, General Manager Michael Casey

NSW Farmers is calling for a comprehensive, ongoing review of devastating flooding during La Nina to prevent future threats to people, property and livelihoods.

Communities across the state experienced heavy rainfall and widespread flooding from March 2021 to the end of 2022, causing an estimated $5 billion in damage to homes, businesses, roads and other infrastructure.

Moree Plains, Gunnedah and Narrabri were among some of the most flood-affected local government areas.

NSW Farmers president Xavier Martin, of Mullaley, said many people had reported unprecedented damage resulting from these floods, and called for a review into floodplains and planning decisions that may have exacerbated the problem.

“We’re concerned that floodwater went places it hadn’t previously gone, and a lot of my members are saying they think public and private ‘flood works’ may be a contributing factor,” Mr Martin said.

“Levees, roadways or other structures built on the landscape alter the speed, depth and movement of floodwater, and we’re concerned that this is why we saw unexpected flooding that presented a real threat to lives.

“We support the NSW Water Minister’s call for improved

modelling, but beyond that we need a comprehensive, ongoing review of public and private works so we can get to the bottom of what went on and more importantly understand how to prevent future flood impacts.”

Many months after the floodwater subsided people were still trying to pick up the pieces and recover from these natural disasters, Mr Martin said, but among farming businesses the doubt and uncertainty was presenting real challenges to future productivity.

“Some of our members have serious doubts about whether buildings and paddocks that were thought to be safe might be inundated again, and they’re wondering whether they should rebuild a shed or repair a roadway if it might simply be destroyed again,” he said.

“This doubt and uncertainty is having a huge impact on productivity – this is a time when we need every part of agriculture firing on all cylinders to really drive our economic output.

“It’s the same for towns, we’re seeing entire communities find it difficult to get insurance, and that’s having a major impact on those people – with so much doubt and uncertainty for homes and businesses, and with such a difficult rebuilding effort still ahead of them, we would hate to see once vibrant towns collapse.”

Recipe of the Week

Courtesy of sydneymarkets.com.au Find all your fresh fruit and veg at Paradise Fresh, Narrabri.

WINTER VEGETABLE, CHORIZO & TOMATO PASTA Preparation 25 min Cooking 45 min | Serves 4

STEP 1 Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add chorizo, leek, garlic, carrot, celery and mushrooms and cook, stirring often, for 15 minutes until vegetables soften. Stir in tomato sauce, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

STEP 2 Cook pasta following packet directions until al dente. Stir cream into chorizo mixture and heat until hot. Drain pasta and return to the pan. Add chorizo mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss to combine. Serve with grated parmesan cheese.

INGREDIENTS 1 tbs olive oil 250g chorizo sausages, finely diced 1 small leek, trimmed, halved lengthways and thinly sliced 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped 1 carrot, peeled and finely diced 2 sticks celery, trimmed and finely diced 125g button mushrooms, finely chopped 500g jar tomato pasta sauce 400g dried bow-tie pasta 1⁄2 cup reduced fat thickened cream grated parmesan cheese, to serve

Good for you ... button mushrooms Fresh mushrooms differ from vegetables in that they supply mainly B group vitamins rather than contributing vitamin C and carotenoids (which are converted in the body to vitamin A).

They are a source of riboflavin (vitamin B2) and niacin, both of which contribute to the normal release of energy from food. They are also a source of the B vitamins pantothenic acid and biotin which both contribute to normal metabolism of fat.

A source of selenium, a mineral which contributes to the maintenance of hair and nails and the way the body uses iodine in its production of thyroid hormones.
